| Message | The right to withdraw your labour is a strong ideal and one we will defend. However, the people elect a government every 42 months and it is up to us to govern. It is not and should never become the mandate of Unions to attempt to overturn a democratically elected government by means of industrial action. This bill is proposed to defend democratically elected governments from those who will only recognise democracy when it coincides with their own beliefs. |

| Message | If we do this we are slapping Unions in the face. They only participate in the Secondary Strikes if they see that the Government is going against the working class and in favor of the Company. Thats just part of it, are job is to protect them from the mismanagement of the CEO's. |

| Random fact: It is not allowed to call more than 5 elections in 5 game years in a nation. The default sanction for a player persisting in the early election tactic will be a seat reset. |
| Random quote: As for rape, of course, that is a direct consequence of the capitalist system of oppression. Capitalism relies on fuelling division and resentment to sustain itself, and so it sets men against women, race against race and so on. Men rape women because they are being oppressed by capitalism, so they take it out on women. Under Communism, there will be no rape, because there will be a full and natural harmony and equality between the genders. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
